I only knew my second cousin Bobby as a young girl when my family visited his in the late 1960s. I still have pictures from those couple of days we spent in his New London home. We went to Mystic Seaport and my sister Joanne and I had so much fun with Bobby-I remember him standing on his head balanced perfectly while we took his picture. I was so sorry to hear of his passing-a lovely soul now in heaven. Debra Bartoletti Watson

My heart is broken today. I just learned of Bobby's passing. It was just 2 days after I last saw him for a hair cut. I knew Bobby for over 20 years during which we talked about anything and everything. When last we spoke, I told him I was worried about him and he should be careful. Such a kind, loving man who had a deep compassion for animals and people in need. You will be sorely missed. My deepest condolences to his family who I know loved him.

I have known Bobby for over forty years and was introduced to him when he was a new beautician at the Red Carpet salon. His warm-hearted nature and sympathetic ear made him a wonderful stylist. Respectful and
professional we continued our conversations throughout the years about cooking, family and life in general.
I believe that Bobby's compassionate nature and generous spirit will shine on us each day.

Joe, Debbie and Family, words cannot adequately express how badly Michelle and I felt upon receiving the news that Bobby had passed. Having been a customer of the Hair Stop for many, many years, I got to know Bobby pretty well, and enjoyed his humor and our discussions about cars and animals during my visits to the shop. One could tell when interacting with him that he was a very caring person who possessed a gentle soul. Michelle and I pass along our deepest condolences and our prayers, and wish you peace and comfort during this very difficult time.

I promise to take care of your Jud, and hug her often for you. You will never be forgotten.

Dear Joe, Debbie & Family
I am so very deeply sorry to hear of Bobby's passing. Just moving back to the area after 12yrs I was so excited to go back to Bobby for his wonderful haircut. he always gave me. (It was a beautiful haircut for sure). He seemed to be as happy to see me as I was him! I am so deeply saddened for your loss and for my loss of a special friend. God Bless you all and may he rest in peace.

Robert was truly one of the nicest person one could know He loved his pets and people he came into contact with. He cut my hair for at least the last 25 years and I always looked forward to my appointment. The world is going to miss him greatly. God bless his family and know it will be very difficult to deal with all this. I am offering any assistance they might need, anything. I am still stunned by what went down during all this.
